Music Survives

We music students have got to stick together. 'Cause Lord knows we have nobody freakin' else.

I'M SORRY.

I have been on a stupidly long hiatus, which I never intended on taking in the first place.  Ironically enough, my life as a music major became too busy for me to keep up with my "Life As A Music Major" blog.  YEESH.

How much time has gone by?  Well, when I started this tumblr I was a junior pursuing my undergrad in music.  Now?  I've graduated, and am waiting to hear from grad school programs for acceptance/assistantships.  WHAT THE HELL.

Even so - You have continued to love and support my blog, and I couldn't be more amazed.  Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.

I'M BACK SUCKERZ.

Things school has taught me:

[musicsurvives]

• Grades are more important than your morals,emotional & physical health • How to hate people in general • To want to quit life weekly • How to text/eat in class without getting caught • Why I will never amount to anything

[musicsurvives]

Sorry about that RIDICULOUS hiatus ya'll.  You know... being a music major and all... hating my LIFE....

COMPOSERS WAR: When a fellow composer would not shut up about his ideas for a new piece while we're out at a bar on a Saturday night.

And then at some point, I’m just:

COMPOSERS WAR: When a fellow composer shamelessly steals one of my instrumentalists.

When your prof asks for someone to sing a duet with the worst singer in the choir:

Tenors who can Rossini...

This is why I have no friends.

Friend: Omg, I LOVE Moulin Rouge! It's such a beautiful love story!

Me: Hey, if you like Moulin Rouge, you should check out La Traviata! It's what the story was originally based on-

Friend: Ew, no. I don't listen to opera. The only music I like is Rent. Rent is SO awesome, and so sad!

Me: ...actually, Rent is based on La Boheme, by Pucci- you know what? Nevermind. *walks into oncoming traffic*
